DATES STUFFED WITH HAZELNUTS AND CHOCOLATE
This recipe from chef Matthew Pope of Zelda's Sweet Shoppe in Skokie makes a perfect "new fruit" dish for the second night of Rosh Hashanah. Tradition calls for eating seasonal fruits during the Jewish new year. But, as the old commercial said, you don't have to be Jewish to love these. You will have extra hazelnut paste, if you have been able to resist eating it while you stuff the dates.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place hazelnuts on baking sheet; toast until fragrant and skins begin to crack, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool briefly. Wrap hazelnuts in kitchen towel; rub briskly to remove as much skin as possible. Chop hazelnuts coarsely; set aside. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
- Combine vinegars in small bowl. Whisk in olive oil; season with salt and pepper.Combine radicchio, arugula, dates, and hazelnuts in serving bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Sprinkle feta over salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right dates. Look for plump, moist dates that are free of blemishes. Deglet Noor and Medjool dates are both great options for this recipe.
- Toast the hazelnuts. Toasting the hazelnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Use a food processor. A food processor will make quick work of chopping the dates and hazelnuts. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop them by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Be patient. It takes a little time to roll the dates in the hazelnut mixture. Be patient and take your time, and you'll end up with perfectly coated dates.

These dates with hazelnuts are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, reach for these dates with hazelnuts. You won't be disappointed.
